'The Right Stuff': The coolest summer accessories
Accessories can make or break and outfit, and we're particularly fond of styling accessories for the summertime.
When a simple outfit is all you want to wear in the summer heat, a straw hat, a colorful sandal or a chic pair of sunglasses can add a pop of personality.

Straw bucket hat
A straw bucket hat is that playful accessory for adding natural texture to your outfit. Style it with swim, denim and beyond on a hot day. This Gap option comes in a light tan color as well as three others to best match your look.
Canvas tote bag
When Old Navy launched its collaboration with Christopher John Rogers, we knew it would be good. This canvas tote bag is no exception: With contrasting straps and a convertible design, it's one that will actually add to your ensemble, rather than distract from it.
Sunglasses
It's amazing how a pair of sunglasses can transform the entire vibe of an outfit. These '90s-inspired sunglasses from Quince give that "it" girl look to jeans and a white tee.
Bright sandals
This summer is all about the thong sandal, and we love it with a wedge heel for a little added height. This pair from Steve Madden is bright and playful in multicolored raffia. Wear them with matching linen skirt and top set for a super-summery outfit that's ready to go.
Waterproof jewelry
When days are spent at the pool, beach or the lake, waterproof jewelry is a must. Not to mention all of the extra sweating! Hey Harper has a wide selection of waterproof earrings, bracelets, necklaces and beyond at affordable prices, including sports-themed jewelry starting at $50, essentials from $35 and charms starting at $25.
Printed scarf
Tie a printed scarf around a lightweight trouser or denim short for an added pop. Scarves also make great accessories for your hair or handbag, so don't forget to pick one up this season!
Totes and charms
Want to go the extra mile? Accessorize your accessories! Take a tote bag and add your favorite summer charms, like crabs, stars or the ever-popular fish. Need something for the Fourth of July? Lands' End's blue woven star bag charm paired with the red and white canvas tote makes the perfect combo.
Phone cases
It's time to swap your old phone case. The below picks from CASETiFY are great for the season.
YETI seasonal offers
A reusable water bottle is a very important accessory year-round, but especially in the summer months. Stay hydrated in style with YETI's seasonal offers, like straw mugs in colors like firefly yellow and key lime. Plus, don't miss more of YETI's collection for summer, like soft coolers, everyday carry backpacks and more.
